Can you post the real error messages from the installation process, not from the log?
From which directory do you try to install?

The error message on installation is
ERROR: The PHP binary coming with ISPConfig does not work properly on your system! The installation routine stops here!
job-working-directory: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory

The file ISPConfig.tar.gz is in my root directory where I run the command
tar xvfz ISPCongfig*.tar.gz

ERROR: The PHP binary coming with ISPConfig does not work properly on your system! The installation routine stops here!
job-working-directory: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory

You don't need to post the complete output here, just the last 100 or so lines that contain the real error.

In my last entry, I was requesting HOW to capture these lines of output. Is there a file that this information is recorded? I do not know how to capsture the lines of output that is displayed on the screen.

It seems you entered something wrong when you tried to create the certificate. Please try to accept the default values.

Tx for the info. I think I was not putting in any information for creating the certificate. Country etc. I entered a . which was for a 'blank' entry.This appears to be not acceptable. Maybe the instructions at this point should be more clear, or not allow a 'blank' entry.

Well, now I have progressed with the installation but I am stuck on MySQL

Please enter the IP address of the ISPConfig web: 192.169.1.4

As far as I can see, the entered detail is correct. Is there an obvious error that I am making?

Please enter the IP address of the ISPConfig web: 192.169.1.4

Make sure www.XXX.com can be pinged. This implies that there's an A record for www.XXX.com, or that www.XXX.com is listed in /etc/hosts, and that your firewall doesn't block pings. The ISPConfig installer tries to ping www.XXX.com to make sure it exists.
